the city of los angeles burned in january in part because of a man who couldn’t stop generating images of burning cities on ChatGPT, and then after he lit the fire he asked if the fire he started was his fault

we gotta get rid of "content" too

meaningless, reduces everything to a product to be just as mindlessly manufactured as it is consumed. just recycling empty calories

"content creator" is nothing; respect yourself and be an Artist!!

i'm not really a lyrics person (i have an easier time of absorbing music first, often takes me several listens to understand the words)

so idk about "greatest living"

but i'll say: i really want another 6ths album from Stephin Merritt, but with famous singers instead of indie darlings

I also need to know: I am fairly middle-of-the-road on Taylor Swift but someone I know called her the Greatest Living Lyricist. She is not.

Who is yours? Either the greatest or your favorite?
